Easiest way to get the number of kWh used

[AlanSubie4Life]

I somehow missed that post due to the lengthy math post after it. Sounds like it would work well.

I mean, it wasn't THAT lengthy. I miss posts all the time this way though.

You can substitute the reading of kWh on your long term trip meter for Miles * Wh/mi in the equation in that post. The 245/230 ratio assumes an AWD, ratio might be slightly smaller for the other vehicles; not sure.

I read by skimming and trying to extract a summary first. If that fails I don't try to read it. Reading chronologically, it makes sense.

I guess I should have gone with the KISS principle and just followed @TimothyHW3's Trip Meter recommendation with:

Trip kWh * 1.25

That's a good lower bound, will work for typical mileage users.

Trip kWh * 1.25

That's a good calculation to use, and yes, easy to apply. I track my usage from the wall, and my number is: Wall kWh/dash kWh = 1.23.

Good to get the confirmation that it's close.

Deviating from the KISS principle , for people with typical use patterns (pre-warming, etc.) in very cold climates, who store and charge their cars outside, it's probably better to use (in winter):

Trip kWh*1.4

For people who use Sentry Mode all the time in mild climates:

TripkWh * 1.9

For people who use Sentry Mode all the time in cold climates (winter):

TripkWh * 2.05



Again, rules of thumb assuming typical driving patterns of 10-12k miles per year. The more you drive the lower the multiplier, but ~1.15 is the lower bound, assuming infinite miles of driving per year.
